Guidelines for Ensuring Digital Accessibility

6. Robust

Compatibility with a range of devices and assistive technologies.

A compatible design ensures that digital content remains usable as technology evolves.

Example: Compatibility with assistive technology

Ensuring that digital content works effectively with various assistive technologies, such as screen readers, voice recognition software, and specialised input devices.

Example: Using standard HTML5 elements for the basic structure of web pages, which are supported by a wide range of assistive devices.

For example, a news website must have structured articles with appropriate heading tags (H1, H2, H3) and semantic HTML. This assists users who use screen readers and ensures that the content remains accessible as new technologies emerge (Bajaj, 2024).
